what can you benefit from drinking green tea?

Answer 1

Green tea does not help you lose weight.
Anything you drink before your meal, will fill you up and you will drink less.

Green tea has antioxidants, but to benefit from them you have to drink 10 POTS per day.

Answer 2

Green tea is loaded with anti-oxidants to help you build up your immune system. I have been drinking green tea about 3 times a day for the past two years and last winter I didn't get sick once. Not even a sniffle! Of course this could've just been coincidence, but I think not b/c I usually get sick every year. This past fall and winter I've cut down my intake, and I did get a cold. So go figure.

Also, it's made of catechins called ECGC which help you burn fat and lose weight especially in your stomach area. There's a lot of research done on the effects of green tea so you should still check it out yourself.

P.S. White tea is generally has more health benefits than green tea b/c it goes through less processing. But they are still both very beneficial.

Answer 3

There are three types of tea Black, Oolong, and Green tea. The difference between the Green tea and the others is that green tea is not fermented, thus keeping in the powerful antioxidants lost in the fermenting process. Green tea also contains polyphenols such as tannins (a nutrient antioxidant) catchins (EGCG which is a powerful antioxidant), and flavenoids, as well as other vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C. The antioxidants help your body fight against free radicals, which can mutate cells and make you sick.

Numerous scientific discoveries have also linked green tea with remarkable disease preventative properties. Gargling with green tea has been shown to inactivate the flu virus, as has drinking a cup each day to activate the polyphenols (powerful antioxidants) that are also suspected to work well against both the cold and flu viri. As China permits greater access to its interior to scientists, reports grow of entire villages in the green tea growing regions where cancers and sicknesses are statistically lower than the national norm. Though such studies are best classified as emergent, green tea is becoming widely viewed as one of the superfoods of the future.

Here are just a few known health benefits of drinking green tea:


Boosts your immune system
Lowers blood sugar

Answer 4

Tea's health benefits are largely due to its high content of flavonoids—plant-derived compounds that are antioxidants. Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties. Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder.
